Dramatic weight loss
Hello I’m new to this forum and I suffer from Stage 4 COPD and recently I have seriously been losing weight and there is nothing that I have been able to do about it and I don’t have any kind of appetite whatsoever and when I do eat I get full after eating just a few mouthfuls and have lost a lot of weight which has led to me losing most of the strength and muscles that I had prior to my diagnosis please could anyone help or advise me on this matter thank you and good to be here
Hi again,
, and thanks for your post and expressing your concerns. I did see your other post elsewhere (on our COPD.net platform), and was able to provide you with an answer there to those concerns. For your convenience, here is a link to that conversation: https://copd.net/members/nikki1974/status/131626. I do hope you have an opportunity to look it over at your leisure.
You may be aware that several of the symptoms (weight loss, a bloating feeling after eating, and loss of muscle strength), you've shared with us here, can be associated with COPD. In order for you to have a proper answer for your concerns, I would suggest you bring this to the attention of your physician. Your doctor will be able to guide you through this once he/she is made aware of how you're feeling.
What do you think?
